Could Difficulty In Turning The Ankle When Needed Indicate Dead Nerve Ending?
My ankle was crushed when run over by a car. That ankle does not seem to get the message to turn around and has twice tripped me as I tried to turn and go the other way. Is that caused by damaged or dead nerve endings? email: YYYY@YYYY . Thank you!

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem tobe related to a nerve damage.
I suggest using an anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I alos suggest to maintain a brace in the nakle to immobilise it.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see a neurologist for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
